A certain minimum of metadata is required by calibre to even have a book in the database. You can control which fields will be copied from the source book in EpubSplit's config.

The epub generated doesn't have any extra metadata from calibre. Are you sure you aren't confusing metadata added later by calibre with what EpubSplit creates originally? Calibre adds quite a bit of metadata when you save an ebook outside calibre or write it to a device.

Or is this the same conversation we had back in June regarding metadata output? EpubSplit generates completely new content.opf and toc.ncx files for new epubs, so it's not going to match the original epub exactly.

If you have EpubSplit config set to 'Copy Cover' and manually include the cover page in the split, you can end up with two covers that way. I'd suggest only doing one or the other.
Thank you. It does work better unchecking the Copy cover option.
